An anti-kinetosis device for a motor vehicle includes a triaxial accelerometer, a display means, and a control unit. The triaxial accelerometer detects accelerations of the vehicle along three axes emits a corresponding acceleration signal. The display means includes light markers forming a first horizontal plane. The control unit includes an acceleration signal input, a processor, and a memory. The control unit receives the acceleration signals emitted by the accelerometer at the acceleration signal input. The memory stores instructions configured to cause the processor to align the first horizontal plane perpendicular to a gravitation vector by driving the means for displaying light markers and configured to cause the processor to align the first horizontal plane with a physical parameter of a first person seated in the motor vehicle. The first horizontal plane is positioned just beside the first internal surface and just in front of the second internal surface.

A motor vehicle control case includes an outer shell with several control areas, each of the control areas assigned to a specific function of the vehicle, a printed circuit board supporting elementary sensors to generate an electrical signal in response to an action such as an approach movement, a contact or a pressure exerted by a user by having his fingers on at least one of the control areas. The elementary sensors are connected to an electronic control unit, the electrical signal generated by the elementary sensors being transmitted to the electronic control unit to be analyzed therein and converted into a control of a function of the vehicle. Each elementary sensor includes at least one insulating substrate on which are deposited conductive tracks forming a capacitive sensor and an assembly of conductive or semi-conductive nanoparticles in colloidal suspension in an electrically insulating ligand, the assembly forming a force sensor.
